What type is my blog!

I found this a while back and thought of trying it out.  But let us examine their disclaimer first.

Note: Writing style on a blog may have little of nothing to do with a person's self-perceived personality.

That is a nice way of saying what we say may not be true but that shoul not keep you from believing it. 

So here is what it says :

ISTP - The Mechanics

The independent and problem-solving type. They are expecially attuned to the demands of the moments, they are master of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. they generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts. 

The mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like to seek fun and action, both in their work and personal life. 

They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters. 

I wonder if I would make a good policemen though. I would not like firing a gun to anyone, or beating anyone up.

Firefighter perhaps. 

Anger Management

We have all heard about the counting down from 10 method. Though more people now advise 100 these days. 

I was reading up this Wheel of Time series, and I found a very interesting way of containing one's anger. It is called the "River contained by the banks" technique. The book only tells of the name of the technique, and mentions that it is not uncommonly used by novices of the White Tower. I think the process of the technique would go something like this: To contain all your thoughts and give them a direction to flow, intead of anger letting your thoughts go haywire into many directions. 

It is not a failed safe method though. The River cannot be contained by the banks when flood happens. I have come up with a few others, though more practical research needs to substantiate the hypothesis. 

If one have a more controlled mind, then perhaps the "Mirror's true image" technique  would work best for you, where you see yourself in the mirror, a calm and pure yourself, devoid of any anger or discomposure. This will calm your frayed nerves and cool your heated mind.

Or one may try the "Catterpillar transforms into butterfly" technique, where you see yourself immerse from the current umcomposed state into a calm, composed and elegant person, where anger transformed into forgiveness and warm hearted.

All these depends highly on the person's ability to remember to do these techniques before lashing out their anger: to remember to count for the count method to be successful, to remember the techniques of containment for the River to be contained, to remember the Magic Mirror to see your improved image, to remember to transform into a butterfly before the anger takes over you. Because all these have the technique have the fatal flaw of being forgotten at the most crucial moment: the heat of the moment when it is most required.
